Hayley Lyrics by Empires

Howl

0

Hayley, it doesn't even matter now
We could've truly had it all
Hayley, it doesn't even matter now
We could've truly had it all

They took him to the hills, where they made him a star
Everyone loved who they knew from afar
Famed a deceiver who wed a believer
With her fed, she conceived his little girl
Who oppressed called in danger
Torched his eyes with her anger
All the flashes captured daddy's dismay
And she took her life before she could run away

I said, Hayley, it doesn't even matter now
We could've truly had it all

I went there, to the site they had said she would be
Too calm a world for a girl seventeen
I couldn't complete it, they wouldn't foresee it
Love is now where her life couldn't be
Oh, believe it can happen
Death is time's true companion
And the future takes a second to be
Close your eyes and feel what is happening

Hayley, it doesn't even matter now
We could've truly had it all
Oh, we could've truly had it all
I say, Hayley, it doesn't even matter now
We could've truly had it all
Oh, we could've truly had it all

Hayley, the dark world took you under
Whatever made you wander?
Ever made you wander?
Hayley, the dark world took you under
Whatever made you wander?
Whatever made you wander?
